[Intro – leises Piano] Soft Ryza (gentle) In the quiet of my mind… There’s a place I try to hide… Dark Ryza (whisper, distant) But I’m always there… [Verse 1] Soft Ryza I just wanted warmth and light Someone to hold me through the night Every smile, every lie Was a way for me to survive Dark Ryza Hope is weakness, love is blind Fear is power, control the mind While you’re begging to be saved I am everything you crave [Pre-Chorus – both alternating] Soft Ryza Please don’t take my heart away… Dark Ryza Give it to me anyway. [Chorus – Duet] Soft Ryza Can you see the girl inside? Still afraid, still trying to hide Dark Ryza I am what she can’t deny All her rage and all her lies Both Two hearts beating in the night One for love and one for fright If you stay, you’ll realize You can’t escape what lives inside [Verse 2] Soft Ryza Sometimes I just want to be Someone kind… someone free But the shadows call my name Pull me back into the game Dark Ryza Every mask you try to wear Every wound, I put it there Let them trust you, let them fall Fear will make you rule them all [Pre-Chorus] Soft Ryza (breaking) I don’t want this anymore… Dark Ryza (close, calm) You were made for something more. [Chorus – stronger, cinematic] Soft Ryza If I lose myself tonight… Will there be a trace of light? Dark Ryza When the darkness takes control I will finally be whole Both Two souls trapped behind one face Love and terror interlaced Hold her close or let her fade Either way… the choice is made [Bridge – emotional conflict] Soft Ryza (soft, desperate) If someone could see the real me… Would they stay? Dark Ryza (cold) If they do… I’ll make them afraid. Soft Ryza I don’t want to hurt them… Dark Ryza But you will. [Final Chorus – epic duet] Soft Ryza Can you save me from the night? Dark Ryza Or will you surrender to the fright? Both Two hearts, one shadow remains Built from sorrow, fear and pain If you look into our eyes You’ll see truth… and your demise [Outro – fading piano + whisper] Soft Ryza Please… don’t leave me… Dark Ryza (whisper) They always do.
